The evening is quiet save for the tunes I have quietly playing into my ears. Hayden's "Weight of the World" is perfect for the mood I'm in. I just realized that I bought wooden buttons that have a similar look to the design on this plate:)
This past week I've felt in the mood to bake. I made vanilla nutella butterballs and when I came out from putting Nora down for a nap half of them were mysteriously gone. The girls were covered in crumbs and faces that said, "what?"
This photo shows my breakfast, fig jam on toast, I can't think of many other more delicious things especially with the cup of tea I made to go along with it.
I am desperately wanting this book to never end! I am in love! It's been awhile since I've read such a beautifully written book. Bauermeister is an artist that's for sure, I've been lost in sublime moments of pure delight all week.
On Thursday I went to Hope and watched part of the soccer game with my dad, we were oh so sad when Germany lost! This food cheered me up though:) I found this black pepper, swiss cheese bread and the rest of the ingredients came together. A salad of tomatoes, bocconcini and basil laced with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Tender esperagus with lemon juice and some cumin havarti cheese for the bread.
Today I took the kids around mill lake and after, we shopped for ingredients for the candied pecan biscotti I wanted to make. I'll have to take some photos because I'm really pleased with how they turned out:) They'll go well with the Yerba Mate I just bought.
I went through lots of photos today finding some shots for a friend who's getting married. I loved seeing what I've been up to in the last ten years. All the amazing people I've had the privilege of meeting. Right now I'm listening to Jen Grant's "Echoes" and I need to find more of her music because it's so fun!
I'm noticing that I'm living more in the moment, a belly laugh with my girls on the way home yesterday when everyone got the giggles, a snuggle with my smiley Nora, noticing how much I loved the taste of my Yerba Mate on my drive. Life is rich and full.
